What do you like best about Event.Gives?

I love how efficient Event.Gives is. It made it really simple and easy for our guests to give at our event and purchase auction items. Our guests shared how they liked using the platform as well. It also made a lot less leg work for our event volunteers. They didn't have to run around processing payments for auction items because guests could do it right from their phones.

What do you dislike about Event.Gives?

Not applicable. Everything worked well for us. It was very efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for silent auction and donation events"
4/5
What do you like best about Event.Gives?

Event.gives was great for our event that included silent auction and general doantions. Check in and check out was seamless. It was essential that all guests be able to bid easily and quickly on their mobile phones. Set up was user friendly and the support was great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Event.Gives?

Some of the reports were a little confusing but we ended up getting where we needed to be. Sometimes setting up each item was a little cumbersome but, with so many tiny details, I'm not sure that can be solved! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Our First Event with Event.Gives"
5/5
What do you like best about Event.Gives?

I am not tech savvy and I was able to get a great looking event site up and LIVE within an hour. Adding items and tickets was a really simple process and the bulk import saved me a bunch of time. The whole backend is super user-friendly and at the same time, we got tons of feedback about how easy it was for attendees to buy tickets and bid on items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Event.Gives?

We didn't know how much we could do with the table management until it was too late. That would have been helpful to utilize all in one place but we already did it with another free tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great Experience"
5/5
What do you like best about Event.Gives?

The Live Display component for our live auction was great. Everyone was laughing and bidding the entire time. It was super engaging and our auctioneer could address and thank the bidder each time. The whole room was dialed in the entire time, which has not been the case in the past. We are looking forward to using this platform for our events in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Event.Gives?

They just released new pricing options that would have been nice to utilize for our last event. Many of our donors would have been happy to cover the fees so we are excited to be able to use that component for our next event. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi Blake,

We are stoked to hear that our Live Display feature was able to keep your guests so engaged! We aim to ensure you maximize your fundraising goals, and we are very excited to have introduced out new Flexible Fees Pricing that allows donors to pay the fees on behalf of your organization - check out the helpful support article I have attached to learn more!

"Good, easy to use software for a good price, but with caveats"
4/5
What do you like best about Event.Gives?

Very easy to use and set up. The backend is pretty user-friendly. One stop usage for event ticketing and sponsors, auctions, raffles etc.

Rates and fees are equivalent to the standard, and especially if you are a small event or unsure if a flat fee versus volume fees is best, this is a good way to start and find out.

Event.Gives covers the basics without a bunch of features that you won't use. Reporting is very basic; if that is not important to you, this is your platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Event.Gives?

On several occasions front end-users reported being unable to see the checkout tab which should be at the bottom of their screen when using mobile devices. This was reported, but it is hard to show what was wrong without screenshots. Also, when using mobile devices, in portrait mode, the quantity field does not always display correctly, causing users to buy more than they intended. Overall, the customer experience was not always great, I would say about ten percent had issues or expressed confusion about thier experience.

Exporting data is not easy. Initially what drew me to Event.Gives was the API connection to Rasier's Edge. This never worked as advertised, truly it is a beta feature at best. It breaks it's connection regularly. If an attendee is linked to RE without any transactions, it creates a gift of $1 on the record, which although it can be edited, can create issues. Also, tracking down all of a user/guests transactions can be difficult, as they are not all in one spot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Event.Gives is very simple and extremely easy to navigate as a guest."
5/5
What do you like best about Event.Gives?

They have a very visually pleasing platform. My event guests were an older crowd and I was hesitant to use a fully online platform, but the website that is created through event.gives is very simple and extremely easy to navigate as a guest. We switched from a platform that had multiple pages and features that were too overwhelming for our attendees to navigate. Event.Gives was a perfect solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Event.Gives?

I wish event.gives had a max bid option, but their customer support team did let me know this feature is being worked on by their product team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi Troy,

We are glad to hear that your guests found our platform so easy to navigate - we believe a positive attendee experience is a vital aspect to maximizing your fundraising goals and aim to provide that!

"Awesome platform that is affordable and easy to use!"
5/5
What do you like best about Event.Gives?

The ability to provide various types of event sales without utilizing a web admin to build it out. It's easy to work with and navigate. The auto-draw function for raffles is ideal! The Silent Auction functions have significantly improved our sales in that area since using the platform in recent years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Event.Gives?

Our audience doesn't like going to each basket to purchase tickets individually. They want to add them to a cart and buy them all simultaneously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
